AI Eye Contact Correction
for Adobe Premiere Pro
When a speaker reads from a script, glances at a second monitor, or isn't perfectly aligned with the camera, they lose the direct eye contact that makes talking-head content compelling. Eye Contact Correction uses AI to subtly redirect gaze — so every speaker appears to be looking directly into the lens throughout your footage.
Without correction
Gaze slightly off-camera — reading from script or second monitor
With AI correction
Direct eye contact — speaker appears fully engaged with viewer
- AI detects eye position frame-by-frame and adjusts gaze toward camera
- Subtle correction — results look natural, not artificially altered
- Works on single-speaker and two-person interview footage
- Adjustable correction strength — from subtle nudge to full redirect
- Applied non-destructively in Premiere Pro — original footage preserved

Eye contact is the single biggest signal of speaker authority and connection
Viewer perception research consistently shows that direct eye contact from a speaker on video creates stronger feelings of trust, authority, and connection than footage where the speaker's gaze is slightly off. It's the difference between a speaker who appears to be talking to the viewer versus a speaker who appears to be talking near them.
Most creators who record from home don't use a teleprompter that sits directly over the lens. They read from a document on a second monitor, glance at their notes, or are slightly misaligned with the camera position. The result is footage where the gaze is consistently 5–15 degrees off-center — subtle enough that you don't immediately notice, significant enough to affect viewer engagement.
Eye Contact Correction uses AI to detect facial landmarks and eye position in every frame, then subtly adjusts gaze direction toward the camera lens. The correction is imperceptible — viewers see direct eye contact, not artificial alteration.

Apply to timeline
Eye contact correction is applied as a Premiere Pro effect layer. Original footage is preserved on a duplicate track.
Who it's built for
YouTube creators and educators
Script-based content creators who record looking at a document or second display can now deliver the direct eye contact of someone reading from a camera-mounted teleprompter — without buying one.
Podcast video editors
In-studio podcast setups often have camera positions that are slightly off-axis from where guests naturally look during conversation. Eye contact correction removes this consistently without per-shot manual adjustments.
Corporate and executive video teams
Executive interviews, CEO messages, and training video presenters reading from scripts benefit most from eye contact correction. Authority and presence on camera is directly tied to perceived gaze direction.
